After youve spent some time with your teacher and interviewed your teacher using the above
questions, using your best writing in a paragraph or two, respond to this question: Why is this
teacher a good model for students going into the teaching profession?

This teacher is a good model for students going into the teaching profession because shes
honest. She keeps her classroom in order and the kids know when theyve done something
wrong. Mrs. Everett makes sure her class is running smoothly but that everyone understands
what is going. The students all seem to enjoy her but know that they shouldnt mess around
because she will get mad. I feel like I could learn a lot from her because she obviously cares
about the kids but doesnt let them walk all over her.
